The Andrew Show is a serie of videos issued since 2009 by the KKK in which two blond children about 9 and 10 years were talking about "their" views on issues related to race and religion to children of their age. The truth is that the videos can clearly notice how Andrew Pendergraft actually read some sort of sign or telepronter behind the camera.

THE KU KLUX KLAN

Ku Klux Klan is the name adopted by several right-wing organizations in America,which were created in the nineteenth century. They mainly promoted xenophobia, and the supremacy of the white race, homophobia, anti-Semitism, racism and anti-communism. Often, these organizations have resorted to terrorism, violence and intimidation as burning crosses, to oppress their victims.

In the 50's  segregation was accepted in the South. Furthermore, the "separate but equal" was only a half true. Blacks enjoyed little freedom in these times of little racial stability. In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States outlawed racial segregation in schools, and this decision triggered a wave of protests in the south. Across southern emerged independent klanes. The ancient sacred ceremony "burning cross" became the preferred by the Klan rite to sow terror, but they also murdered and assaulted people.

In 1960, the Klan was born to be the longest of all, when the "Klanes States of America" association was created. Alongside the figure of Martin Luther King appears as an advocate for racial rights and, of course, was despised and convirtiose public enemy No. 1 of these people. The city of Birmingham, Alabama, became the main focus of violence, and the Klan was helped and protected by the State Police making a "blind eye" to the beatings and killings.

In the early 80's many Klansmen changed their robes by paramilitary uniforms, with their training camps to work out in the "shooting black", but fortunately the state intervened and could be dissolved. It was the end of the Ku Klux Klan and the White Power, but will always be there, lurking, as they always were cowards. Unable to determine the number of victims; murdered, mutilated, slaughtered, burned, threatened. the list is endless. Fanaticism is still present "below the surface" eager to jump at any time against racial equality, although they've lost the battle.

Although we believe there are currently no organizations like the KKK we're wrong , these organizations still exist and there are more than we think . In my opinion if we were all aware that racism is bad there would be a less retrograde global level that we have today.

Scouting in all human and civic values are promoted and teaches you to see the world from another point of view different from others.

2)Who founded it?

Lord Robert Baden-Powell founded the Scout Movement in 1907 in the UK. This year, to test some ideas, he brought together 20 young people from different social classes in a week-long camp, beginning on 1 August on the island of Browsea position in Poole, Dorset, England. This experiment went very well and led to the grown of Scouts.

3)which is their symbol?

Its symbol is the “Lis Flower”, better known as the flower of the lily. The three leaves (or petals) recall the "three parts of the Scout Promise" as the "Three Fingers Seña Scout". Your 2 stars out of 5 points each representing the 10 laws Scouts and knot that ties them all symbolizes the worldwide brotherhood.

I've been in the Scouts for 7 years; they are like a second family to me. With them I learned many things. I have learned to overcome my fears and also to be always ready to act and be a better person. In the Scouts I feel that I can do the impossible. Among this group of friends I have learned to be myself;

They mean everything to me. Sometimes I think about what my life would be without Scouting... Would I be the same person inside? I do not think so.

Halloween

13 INTERESTING THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT HALLOWEEN

1.- ONCE UPON A TIME...

You aren't going to believe it but Halloween hasn't born in a fabric of sugar: this celebration exist for more than 6000 years, it is believed to have started in 4000 a.c in Ireland.

2.- ALIVE OR DEAD...

The origin of Halloween was in the ancient Celtic festival <<Samhain>>, the celebration in the end of the season of the crop. By then the Gaelic people thought that the 31 of October the world of the people who live and the world of the dead people in that night were united, so the dead people come to live and started upsetting, killing live people. How the people scare them? Wearing costumes.

3.-CLIN, CLIN

After Christmas, Halloween is the second celebration where people in USA spend their money, about 6900 millions of dollars in Halloween. They spend it in sweets, costumes, parties, decoration, and they spend it too in costumes for their pets.

4.- TITANIC? WHAT?

Of the 6900 millions of dollars they spend every year in the United States, only in sweets are about 2080 millions of dollars. How many sweets we can buy with all that money? About 224 millions of Kilos, and thats equals to 6 ships like Titanic.

5.-SWEETS, SWEETS...

An American person eats approximately 1.27Kilos of sweets in Halloween. That's the weight of a chihuahua wearing a Halloween costume!

6.-LET'S TALK ABOUT SUGAR

The <<Trick or Treat>>-(known for wearing costumes, and go house by house asking for sweets)-Kids in Halloween eat about 7000 calories(you should eat 66 bananas for eat 7000 calories).

7.-BUH!

Halloween scares you? So that means, maybe you have “Samhainofobia” , fear of Halloween.

8.-A WITCH? WHERE?

If you wear your clothes inside out or you walk backwards in Halloween, the tradition says:if you do that you will see a witch in the midnight.

9.-A BIG PUMPKIN...

The heaviest pumpkin in the world, was grown in Switzeland, and it was 782,31 Kg, like a small car.

10.-DOING WHAT? WHY?

The pumpkin and Halloween are united, like sweets and Halloween: carving pumpkin in Halloween it isn't only for fun, it's too because they believe that doing that they scare the bad spirits, so let's start carving pumpkin!

11.-FOLLOW THE RULES

The truth is that<<Trick or Treat>>it's just for kids: in some cities of the United Stated they have ban to people older than 12 years old to do the Trick or Treat . Some teenagers ignore that rule and do it but if they are caught they have to pay a penalty fee about 1000 dollars! Sure that 7000 calories of sweets can't pay that penalty fee!

12.-SMALL SPIDERS.

Do not scare or kill a spider in Halloween: people believe that the spirit of a family member or someone you love its protecting you that night.

13.-YOU HAVE BEEN DOING IT WRONG!

Probably you have been misspelling Halloween, and yes! We too. The correct word to write Halloween is Hallowe'en (All Hallows' Eve)

(Where it is celebrated the most is in United States).

OTHER CULTURES: JAPANESE CULTURE: MANGA AND ANIME

1-DIFERENCES BETWEEN MANGA AND ANIME:

The manga is a printed product , just as comics and although the word is generally used to refer to Japan 's own creations within the country it is named with the same term both eastern and western comics. Unlike the classic comics, manga is a means in itself, covering both fantastic and realistic stories, and with very different themes, able to capture the public of all ages, sex or religion.

The anime, meanwhile, is the animated way of representing a story. As well as cartoons or animated short films. In to the picture even further is common narrative or graphic content to highlight the musical, It is in the opening and ending of each episode one of the points that never go unnoticed.

2-WHAT IS THE BOND THAT UNITES THEM?

The link between the two formats is very strong, and 

there is constant adaptation of manga anime or vice versa, which could somehow justify the confusion.

And as the light novels have manga, anime has serialized the OVA, or "Original Video Animation," which are film versions of the anime.

3-A BEAT OF HISTORY

The manga and anime in Japan has formed generations, since the mid-50s' to present time.They are as universal as any other art and not far behind against any socio-economic or political change. Manga and anime are always present in Japanese society, they have spruing from the change in mentality that exisists in every age. Since Astroboy to what is, today, Naruto or One Piece, anime and manga have influenced mostly young people, giving them most of the time positive messages, as the idea of "Faito"
